I. Introduction
Listening is one of the parts of English and interrelated with other skills such as
speaking. When students listen to songs they adore it and in very young stage they
learn by listening and imitating to their parents and adults. From listening they start
learning and understanding their native language and they try to speak with those heard
words. As listening is an effective tool in teaching why not to use it? According to
Sevik (2012) musical expression has pivotal role in human experience and children
answer enthuasiastically to songs and stories. The rhythmic and repeated nature of
songs, as well as the enjoyment that the connection between melody and content offers
to the learning activity, are the songs' most salient characteristics that support language
acquisition. (Sevik 2012). Millington (2011) adds that songs improve listening
skills,and speaking with its pronunciation, additionally students’vocabulary,sentence
structure and sentence patterns will be acquired easier and songs influence to children’s
culture and outlook,he points out that the pleasure is a key element in songs.
Songs are often enjoyable for kids, and they can provide a welcome diversion from
the monotony of language study. Using songs in the classroom can also give the teacher
a wonderful break from sticking to a rigid curriculum. Any number of kids can be
taught songs, and even teachers with the fewest resources can make good use of them.
Songs can be quite helpful for young children acquiring a second language in terms of
their language development (Millington,2011).
